Just bought in today to be part of the 5g infrastructure roll out.

[gerihatrick] 02/8/2018 14:02

it is good to see the contract for the antennae and the share price rise. Does anyone have any idea of the potential of these antennae and the time frame? Rob clearly mentions the potential but does not put any figure on it

Nice response on good volume. Should start to underpin the share price imo.

Dixons target 45p has been there before but lets see. Can see why she filled her jimmy choos

[owenski] 01/8/2018 11:28

Portentous order and not small beer.

Definite probability of more to come and 5G investment is here to stay.

Good entry point today imo, FTC not exactly overpriced anyway.

Party at Mrs Dixon's.............

There is no need what so ever for a placing. Anyone who can interpret accounts can see that !

This is the beginning of the re-rating imo

Bought in Today.

This initial order is just a small taster of what's to come.

mMIMO is an essential foundation for 5G, as it answers the network’s need for a radio frequency (RF) technology capable of handling the huge increase in data usage that 5G is expected to bring. mMIMO meets that challenge by enabling the transmission of far more data over a given frequency spectrum than any current, traditional radio technologies allow.

Feel we're about to go vertical here as flurry of orders pile in. Mkt cap only 24m

Nasdaq:CRNT which I hold has doubled this year. dyor

All aspects of the balance sheet looked healthier at half year, including cash and especially receivables and payables where risk was significantly reduced. Cash had risen further from half year end in the recent trading statement. The draw down facility against debtors can only be for one thing - they are putting themselves in a position to be able to fulfil a rapid upswing in orders - today is just the start, as has been observed. The long wait is coming to an end.I'd be surprised at any placing and even if they are looking at one (the drawdown facility suggests they are in fact avoiding one) it would reflect the new momentum and be nowhere near 5p. So that kind of talk is just airy scaremongering.

opodio why not read up on company finance instead of misunderstanding what is happening. Of course, big new orders mean more short term funding facilities, but this is generating cash as orders are paid for after supply.

[opodio] 01/8/2018 09:17

having to have more banking facilities , wont last long

[weatherman] 01/8/2018 09:11

Opodio - are you not on the wrong board, or is your record stuck ?

[bazworth] 01/8/2018 08:55

opodio, please explain why....?

[opodio] 01/8/2018 08:41

placing coming at 5p?

[pictureframe] 01/8/2018 08:36

My only concern is it get taken out.

[bazworth] 01/8/2018 08:28

And just look how low our current Market Cap is, this could be a pretty good run over the next few years!

[pictureframe] 01/8/2018 08:14

Agreed this is the first of the initial orders and from 1 major player.

The one plus for FTC is the antenna for 5g don't cover a much distance so more will be required !

[wisecat2] 01/8/2018 08:11

The start of something big.....wow

The announcement on 30 July 2018 by T-Mobile and Nokia stating that Nokia will supply T-Mobile with $3.5 billion of early stage 5G Network Equipment as part of T-Mobile's first US nationwide 5G rollout underpins our confidence in our decision to focus considerable energy and resources over the past year on our mMIMO developments. mMIMO is a key technology for Mobile Telecommunications Networks as it uses licensed spectrum far more efficiently, thereby increasing existing network capacity. It enables the use of beamforming techniques which will be an essential requirement of 5G networks. The orders demonstrate our credibility and capability as a supplier of complex antennas into the telecoms market."

3.5 billion we should get a nice chunk of this !

[chrisdgb] 01/8/2018 08:04

Great news, just the start of the 5G story......

[bazworth] 01/8/2018 07:18

And the announcement is here, about time!

[cefar5411] 31/7/2018 10:31

Nokia deal is great news for FTC. They have a long standing relationship and know FTC can deliver on contracts.

50k chunks going through, order being worked?
